The world of comic crossovers is set to get more unusual in 2026 with the announcement of Judge Dredd/Biker Mice From Mars. This two-issue limited series marks a significant collaboration between The Nacelle Company, Oni Press, and Rebellion.
The story sees the greed-fueled oligarchs Limburger and Karbunkle targeting Mega-City One for plunder, only to be thwarted by Throttle, Vinnie, and Modo, the extraterrestrial anti-heroes known as the Biker Mice From Mars. Stranded in the smog-choked metropolis, the Martian brothers and their bikes find themselves caught between 400 million citizens who want them dead and the unyielding Judge Dredd. The situation escalates further when the Biker Mice's otherworldly abilities attract the attention of the inhuman entity Judge Death, placing both man and mouse in peril.
Judge Dredd/Biker Mice From Mars #1 is written by Dan Watters and Ryan O'Sullivan, with art by Jordi Tarragona. The first issue will feature cover art from David Finch, Karl Kerschl, and Andrew Krahnke. The series is slated for release in December 2026, with preorders available at local comic shops.
Beyond the comic series, the partnership will also extend to a new line of Judge Dredd and Biker Mice From Mars toys. Preorders for these figures are expected to open in the fall, with a planned release in 2027. "Mutants and mayhem are two of the founding pillars of Judge Dredd's world, so when Oni and Nacelle approached us about a crossover with the Biker Mice From Mars we knew this would be exactly our kind of Thrillpower," stated Ben Smith, Head of Publishing for Rebellion. He added that the Biker Mice From Mars are a perfect fit for Dredd's vision of the future and described the collaboration as a "revved-up, all-action spectacular." The toy range is seen as an exciting next step, with Rebellion and 2000 AD eager to bring this new partnership with Oni Press and Nacelle "into fifth gear."
